It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
The purpose of our lives is to be happy.
The secret of happiness is freedom, the secret of freedom is courage.
Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.

The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us.
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
The only thing that will make you happy is being happy with who you are, and not who people think you are.
Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.
The greatest joy in life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you've got to make yourself.
There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.
Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness.

Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.
